reception

His book Rauschzeichen , published in 2008 with Georg Wurth , was recommended by Susanne Mack on Deutschlandradio Kultur “all over fourteen”. It is particularly recommended for parents "who worry because their pupating offspring is still raving about the water pipe at the last party". Stephan Quensel drew the conclusion in his review: “The authors succeed in presenting the international state of research in a way that is appropriate, balanced and easy to understand [...]. We would therefore like to warmly recommend this paperback to worried parents, teachers and all those who would like to find out more about cannabis in a different, less dramatic way. ”In 2016 the book was a reading tip for one Broadcast of the WDR television magazine Quarks & Co on the topic of cannabis. Using examples from cannabis users and their relatives, it makes clear “when addiction begins and how risks can be recognized early enough”.
